Shed Seven have announced a new album and accompanying tour. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 21 July. 

The band will return with their first studio album in six year, titled A Matter Of Time. Set for release on Friday 12 January, it will mark the band’s 30th anniversary since it formed. 

Shed Seven guitarist Paul Banks said, ‘For this album, we took a nostalgic journey back to our roots, immersing ourselves in the records and sounds that ignited our passion for songwriting at the tender age of 12. The influences of bands like The Smiths, R.E.M., U2, Simple Minds, The Cure, and Duran Duran permeate every note, making it a heartfelt homage to those cherished times. It embodies the essence of rebirth, empowering individuals to embrace their true selves without inhibition. With utmost conviction, we declare this as the pinnacle of our musical endeavours - the record we've always yearned to create.’
